You can list all your existing agents with the following command. The project_id can be obtained from the web UI. Also refer to the the Projects API for programmatically creating/editing projects.

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/extraction/extraction-agents?project_id={project_id}' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"

You can also fetch a specific agent_id by name:

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/extraction/extraction-agents/by-name/{agent_name}' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"

Upload a document

Upload a document using our Upload API.

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/files' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
  -F 'upload_file=@/path/to/your/file.pdf;type=application/pdf'

Run an extraction job

Use the extraction_agent_id and file_id from the previous steps to run an extraction job.

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/extraction/jobs' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "extraction_agent_id": "{$AGENT_ID}",
  "file_id": "{$FILE_ID}",
}'

Poll for extraction job status

Jobs are processed asynchronously. You can poll for the status of a job using the following endpoint.

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/extraction/jobs/{$JOB_ID}' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"

Get the results of an extraction job

If the job is successfully completed, you will see the status as SUCCESS. You can then retrieve the results from the following endpoint.

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/extraction/jobs/{$JOB_ID}/result' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"
